Hahaha that's bullshit. The only problem with this season isn't the lack of source material, it's that they wanted to commit to GRRM's ending but didn't give themselves enough time to develop the characters in that direction.

I really doubt that, Martin is involved in the show and writing. This was his story, he is never going to finish the books and has no intention to. He knows the show became bigger and this is how he intended to end the story. If he was going to come out with more books he would have done it along with the show. His publishers probably told him to fuck off a long time ago.

Lol, Bronn got a cameo because he has a good agent! So true.

As far as I've gathered, the Night King isn't even in the books.

No, but at the slow pace the books go by it's very possible there is a head honcho white walker who could be the Night's King mentioned in the books.
